Davie, Lobos looking to turn things around in 2012

ALBUQUERQUE — Coming off three consecutive one-win seasons and a turbulent era under Mike Locksley that saw the first-time head coach fired in the middle of last season, the University of New Mexico’s football program is struggling to make progress.
Former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie has been brought in to restore some Lobos luster, but he last walked the sidelines a decade ago, spending the time since as an analyst with ESPN.
And Davie acknowledged things are far from glowing as New Mexico prepares for the upcoming season.
“I’m sure every team we play, they’re looking at that schedule and saying, ‘We’re going to beat New Mexico,’ “ he said.
This despite returning 16 starters on both sides of the ball, among the most in the Mountain West.
“We don’t care how many players we have back,” Davie said. “Because they haven’t won, so I don’t know that that matters a whole lot. We’re really starting over.”
The makeover starts with the offense, which will be employing a hybrid, shotgun/option package.
